Selective sharers

I understand the point of view expressed by David J. Undis of Lifesharers in today's letters column.

I just don't agree with it.

I have an organ donor card. If anyone can make use of my heart, lungs, liver, eyes, whatever, when I don't need them anymore, please take them.

And I mean anyone, not just someone who also happens to have an organ donor card. One person's life is worth as much as another's, and I wouldn't deny a chance for life to someone who -- for any number of reasons -- simply had not made a decision to become an organ donor or, even more selectively, to become a member of Lifesharers.
